Mat: Fearing that he will start controversy after debunking the "Phantoms are hallucinations" theory
The Actual Controversy: *Mat's pronunciation of "Elytra"*
he's actually right 0.0... I looked it up because I wanted to make sure and he's right. it's based on a real word "elytron" which refers to a set of wings on a beetle or something like that, and its pronounced "e-le-tron"
IT'S EE-LI-TRA or EE-LEE-TRA
IT'S NOT ELL-LA-TRA
Yoda: And so begins the Pronunciation Wars.
symbiote all over again
My life was a lie
Is it actually 'elitra' or 'elaytra'?😁
Mat: trying to solve Minecraft lore
Also Mat: "Ellitra"
I mean technically he isn't wrong-
But he's also not right
What's your point.
@@charlsondemong4922 Their point is that hes prounouncing it differently from how everyone else does

Don't forget that phantoms don't just appear for one player as all players in a server including non-sleep deprived players can see them.
I was skeptical with the dragon connection, but when Mat said the Illagers were trying to recreate something they had never seen in full, _that_ made sense.
Agreed! The End connection I’m iffy about, but the idea of them being a weird Freddy Krueger like thing somehow whiny both real and imaginative is an idea I can get behind
@Don't read profile photo alr
Except for one thing. The fact that the end portal is 1-way as long as the dragon is around. The ancient builders couldn't have communicated the existence of enderdragons to anything in the overworld. Not before turning into enderman at least. The illagers would know about the portal, and that is it. They wouldn't know about anything past it.

The elytra's were also probably made with part of the dragon's bones, making them much stronger than just a bunch of phantom membranes. When your elytra breaks, all your left with is the dragon bone and a bit of remaining dragon wing. Now you can add phantom membrane back to it so it actually can provide enough lift to fly again, but you can't make it completely out of membrane because it falls apart without something stronger like dragon bone to keep it together. Kind of surprised you skipped over this possibility, as it makes even more sense.
Very true, excellent point!
In order to hold anything together you need structure, what structure could be better than the original structure you took the resources to craft it from?
Nice!
It’s really hard for him to know every single detail on everything he Theorizes on :)
At first when I heard "Geico" I thought it was a joke-
Congratulations theorist team! I didn't believe this was possible...
An important detail against the hallucination theory is also, that while phantoms only spawn when the player hasn't slept for at least three days, they do attack other players as well.

I was waiting for Matt to point out the fact that Phantoms spawned in The End in snapshot 18w07a, a very early 1.13 snapshot and this alone almost confirms the theory. Even so, I never thought about they being related lol
Except they dont spawn in the end anymore so that actually goes against the theory since mojang purposely distanced phantoms from the end.
@@Oscar-ek2jx Yeah, you're right

Less believable bit: rAvAgErS wErE mAdE fRoM vIlLaGeRs
The problem with that is if something was wrong then it could lead to many wrongs.
Here's a slight issue, how would the illagers see or hear about any of the happenings in the end when all communication was lost and no builders made it back out of the end
@@lord0fthecubes evokers bro
@@imaguy7070 Well yeah but let's just compare the sizes of ravager body parts and villager body parts real quick. Which is bigger?
Can we just point out for a second how MatPat says "Elytra"?
Жжжжж
Yeah I have never heard it like that
I know I hate it
I thought he was just doing a bit the first couple times he said it!
That is in fact how you say it
I actually thought of my own theory as to why the phantoms look so different from the ender dragon.
I believe that the reason why they’re smaller and look different is because the phantoms are the dead zombies of the male drone dragons. See, it’s important to note that the only ender dragon we ever see is a female, as shown by our prize once defeating the dragon: an egg. I believe that this species of dragon reproduced similarly to bees, where they would once in a while purposely produce males to send their genes to another female. Evidence of being able to control what gender an unborn baby will have is seen in real world crocodiles, where the temperature of the burrow incubating the eggs will determines if it’s a boy of girl, and I think the dragons can do the same. This would also explain their presence in the over world, as the males would be able to fit through the portals while the females are much too big. However, going between dimensions can cause a creature to zombify, like with piglins.
This would also coincide with your theory about how they sense the player, but also explain why they attack the player instead of normal mobs, because they were trying to defend their queen from the old builders.
But that’s just a theory, a GAME THEORY! Thanks for reading.
get this to the top rn
That is quality. Take my upvote!
You deserve top comment for this!
Definitely has merit :)
The best theory in this comment section so far
One bone I have to pick with the illager conclusion is that Mat thinks they heard the tales of the dragons. If what Mat said about Enderman being ancient builders who were trapped in the End, how would it be possible for the illagers to hear about what they did in the End?
probably its before the wither attacked them/warden invasion, since those end portal exist even before those event. and after the event they cant get out because of the horror on the overworld making them "trapped" since they had to be in the end because they cant deal with the overworld, warden and wither.
My theory is that the portal closed in the same way the ender portal closes when a ghast shoots it, something like that
Endermen can travel to the overworld. And in some cases (From what I have seen) Illigars will drop whatever they are doing and start attacking endermen.
Wandering traders maybe since those guys spawn everywhere
endermen can teleport

@@cupofdirt2490 yes
You know what I find interesting? Creepers (among other hostile mobs perhaps) aren't hostile to the villagers. Might make you ask what differentiates them from the player in the eyes of an overthinker.
👏
Also, iron golem and zoglins won't attack creepers.
Hey MatPat here's another peice of phantom evidence to back up that Phantoms are not hallucinations. Phantoms are incapable of spawning when a player is under a block. This backing up the idea of heat/heartbeat seeking undead dragons. Therefore they couldn't be hallucinations, because it shouldn't matter where the player is for them to spawn. Unless they are heat/heartbeat seeking monsters.
And if they were hallucinations, they would appear in all 3 dimensions, and they don't.
The scariest thing in this video is the fact that MatPat pronounces Elytra as El-eh-tra
fun fact: that’s the way it’s actually pronounced
0:18: HOLY DIVINE LACK OF ORIGINALITY.
WOW.
Eli-truh
I was looking for this comment 😭
@@heyimneverland8451 only if you pronounce it jif as well
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the fact that the phantom’s wings look torn, since your theory was that Ender Dragons were hunted mainly for their wings
Maybe the phantoms are made from broken elytras, but the only way to get them is getting back from The End, did the ancient builders somehow be able to return from The End but at some point they stopped returning? I meam the only way to return is by killing an ender dragon, which then will open a portal to the overworld, since Jean is the last dragon and wished to be preserved they couldn't kill her and in result could never get back to the overworld.
@DONT ok
@DONT your right
He did, he mentions how they have a torn decaying body with a bones on the outside
@@khai7489 I mean they did figure out how to make a ender crystal which is a living thing because when you do /kill @e and they is a ender crystal spawn it will get destroyed also it had runes on the block when it spins
i have one theory of my own that might also work.
The phantoms are yes, the ghosts of the dragons, and meant to be the dragon, or what was left of it.
For an idea, the builders hunted the dragons, they would've torn off the wings, taken the tail for somn, taken meat and limbs from it, took the neck part for some things, an either parts of the head or the whole head.
The phantoms are just what the dragons ended up looking like after a hunt was done. It was possible that the builders would've taken parts like that back to the overworld as trophies or to use the tools of the overworld to further take apart the bodies. The illagers would've found what was left of these bodies and tried to make a dragon themselves from it, like you said, to try to bring the builders back, but this would've been an entirely new experiment, and one that wouldn't've gone to well. The dragon body would've tried to rebuild itself but missing so much would be unable to, the skin would come back differently shaded from trying to regrow, the dragons would've lacked muscle tissue leading to bones being visible, an all the missing limbs would be too far damaged to come back, and the mind, being broken and misshapen, would lead it to have a hunger for insomnia.
also, phantoms do stop attacking entirely 11:41, idk if it was just the server i was in but if you sleep for 6-10 seconds, they quit attacking. This could connect to the broken mind part.
ok, here me out, what if the phantoms are soul-powered creations? if you look at 9:23, you can make out the same soul design as soul sand
This whole series is just

@@leeman23664 is it your father?
Yep
The most chilling thing I’ve learned this game theory is how MatPat pronounces Elytra
Edit: It’s been almost a year now, you can stop replying with how you personally pronounce Elytra. After 385 replies to date, I GET IT.
Hes pronounces it "eletras"....
and lazuli too 😃
"ElEtRaH"
As weird as it might seem, and as world-shattering as it might be... he's pronouncing it correctly.
@@firedale2002 HE IS?
You keep commenting on the fact that the Enderdragon is the last of its kind and that there are no resources to make the elytra for that reason, but what about the fact that you can canonically respawn the Enderdragons using 4 End crystals? Maybe there is a connection between the two? Maybe Enderdragons are made of End crystals? Either way I think this creates a problem somewhere in your reasoning.
the ender dragon could be a fake tho, not a real dragon but one that the ancient builders created with the knowledge from the illigers that's why it doesn't drop anything
The end crystals heal the dragon, and in the re summoning you can see the crystals offering their energy to re create what they supported
Doesn't a respawned dragon give less xp? It suggests that the respawned dragon isn't the same, it's some kind of fake or lesser version of the dragon.
I remember when the phantom came out, I was so confused and terrified to continue my survival world
Matpat: You’ll never see this twist coming!
Also Matpat: makes it the title and thumbnail 👍
Yeh lol
that was..... the joke.
Funny thing is, I’d even figured out the basis of how he was going to connect all this through the physical item left behind and his past theories. Watching this one was more like “Yup, Mhmm, just what I was thinking,” rather than surprise.
phantoms were originally suppose to spawn in the end, but was too much for players to handle, making them originally a end mob
Makes sense. Imagine bridging from one island to another and you get attacked by 10 mini ender dragons. Too hard wouldn't be difficulty in fighting, it would be difficulty not getting pummeled into the void.

Yes. They should add a way for players to sleep in the end so they can add that
@@frank-yp9br I think the idea was they spawn much like any other mob, not insomnia dependant.
@@AlexanderScott66 They are an absolute monsters in the end
Personally I think the Eytra are simply repaired by phantom hide because they have similar wing membranes, and that the phantoms are from the mysterious dimension discovered by the builders that the warden is from
the number 3 matches up. after all, it does take 3 days of no sleep to go insane from what I heard.
To Mat pat there's a minecraft book named "THE END" its jam packed with lore, and I think it could help you on your journey to discover the lore of minecraft.

@@yourlocalduckling8148 it’s very annoying
11:10 The way I personally see it is that really they're attracted to insomnia simply because it's easier prey. Something that hasn't slept much would be tired and weary and much easier to take down than something that's well-rested. This can be seen with almost all predators in the real world which prefer to target weaker game, such as the old, young, injured and sick.
Moster chife? You're supposed to be on the battlefield! Why are you watching minecraft videos?
How would they know you haven’t slept
@@fadertheory2493 Being able to sense it plus if they adapted to hunting down tired humans then they would have a way of sensing it
Yes very much that makes sense
@@fadertheory2493 As he stated in the video, they could probably tell via whatever stuff he listed (I forgot lol), and if they're smart enough they may know by their demeanor.
I would think that maybe they are some sort End of birds that no longer exist. It's weird how the dimension that has floating islands has no native flying mobs other than the one remaining ender dragon. Many islands are well over 32 blocks away from each other (the maximum distance than an enderman can teleport.) So a flying mob would have a great advantage compared to the fauna that we know of thus far.
Hey MatPat! Love where everything is going with Minecraft lore and all the things with the Deep Dark, it’s amazing! One thing I would LOVE to see is a theory on the Ghast, and maybe the Blaze.
Anyway, my personal theory on the Ghast is that when about half the builders from all across the Overworld first entered the Nether, the pressure caused the portals to be unstable, and as soon as they entered, the portals leaked, cracked and eventually exploded, resulting in the ruined portals we see now. When they got trapped inside, they tried to make obsidian, but to no avail as the intense heat forbid the existence of water.
After a while, they became insane and started to kill eachother for sport. This broke out into a civil war, making the soul sand valleys we see today. Some used the primitive power of magic to combine the souls of their fallen to create the Ghast, a firebreathing abomination to destroy the others. Those who remained met the Piglins, whom they raided and stole obsidian from to get back out.
I know that’s a lot to dump, but tell me what ypu think!
Phantoms originally spawned in The End in snapshots but they changed that because it made the end fight too hard. There is clearly a relation between the Phantom and The End, and them being the undead version of Ender Dragons is not too much of a stretch.
However I do feel that your illager interactions with the ancient builders creates a little too many loopholes within your own theory since you earlier said that the end portal was one-way so illagers should not know about what is in the end.
Yeah, but he also said that the ancient builders *came* *from* the ender portals, meaning he thinks that the ancient builders may have brought some dragon corpses into the overworld
MatPat is a brain burner!(Правдивое видео)
ua-cam.com/video/cAQxPSwM4h0/v-deo.html
@@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache which contradicts so much. Remember why they went to the end in the first place, to run away. Then they got trapped and become enderman. Them being trapped and unable to return was a major point of Matts
@@Hevensdragon Idk, maybe some managed to go back by killing an ender dragon (like how we get out of the end by killing Jean) while others maybe got addicted to chorus fruit or smth and stayed? That's definitely one of the problems with the end theories MatPat has
I think the phantom is just a male enderdragon. like with bees the males only serve to use of reproduction. just leaves the question on why they are in two different dimensions.
The fact that elytras can be repaired with phantom membranes just tells me that the ancient civilization that travels to The End is probably sleep deprived
MatPat is a brain burner!(Правдивое видео)
ua-cam.com/video/cAQxPSwM4h0/v-deo.html
Even if they wern't hunting phanotoms, the fact that beds explode in the End would also make them sleep-deptived.
@@agsilverradio2225 were the exploding beds explained in other realms? I forgot from the previous episodes
Hey, some bot copied your comment and managed to get like 60+ likes
Me watching MatPat explaining sleep deprivation at 4 AM
One thing he didn't include: Phantoms appear when you don't sleep, and the fastest way to kill an Ender Dragon is to go to sleep next to it. Of course they're connected.
To add to this theory, Phantoms used to be able to spawn in the End as well, and were much bigger (and there size can still be increased with commands).
Question: how could the illagers have known about the end at all if the end portals are a one way trip? When the ancient builders went through they had no way to return. He said so himself, it’s how they went extinct. This is further supported by the lack of end items like the elytra (btw what’s with your pronunciation lol) or the purpur blocks. So what gives?

Evil Drinking Game:
Take a shot everytime MatPat's pronunciation of Elytra annoys you
Big problem with the theory, how did the Ancient builders return to the overworld and tell others about the ender dragon? Evidence suggest that the Ancient builders were unable to return since if they could, they would certainly bring their elytra technology with them.
How did the Illagers know about the what was housed in the End? (Namely the Ender Dragon). The End portal is one way, thus no survivors could return to tell the story of the Ender Dragon. This lack of a way back is the entire basis for the theory that the Ancient Builders turned into Endermen...
I thought the same thing. While it's an interesting theory, I don't think the Illagers could have been the ones to create Phantoms.
Well, we did get disc 5 where a player(builder?) (builderss he left as I heard hammering of construction) who's been close to withers, enderdragons, and then met the warden in the overworld back after they returned. Mojang may be changing the story (like the additions of phantoms and their part) to make it more connectable in a way?
As I stated in my other comment, the old builder COULD kill the dragon and make their way back to the overworld. They have elytra, and this means they had the ability to kill ender dragons. Why didn't they though
Wasn't there pottery with crude designs on them that deppicted the ender dragon? I thought that was added in an update, but I could be wrong
Yeah and also why would illagers create fake beds and maps when villagers (the group they defected from) have access to the real thing.
5:47 the other problem is that the damage to the body when sleep deprived happens regardless of hallucinations. Killing all the phantoms stops the damage making them not a product of the brain self explaining why it’s hurting via hallucinating

Omg THE BOTS
Uh yeah that's because he was explaining a theory of the community not his own theory
Hallucinations so real they can hurt you
And you can hurt them
It feels like the phantoms were meant to have those characteristics that suggest them as hallucinations, because when you think about it, all of the damning evidence against the theory are things that make the game easier. If dogs couldn't attack them, if they didn't give drops, if cats didn't catch their drops, they would seem a lot more pointless and needlessly difficult. So I kinda headcanon the hallucination theory as the original intention
I disagree. The Ender Dragon doesn't drop anything either except a lot of XP.
Dogs attacking them and giving them drops are intentional choices they made, not "Well, we have to" things.
Not to mention, they only spawn if you're outside. If they were hallucinations, they should spawn regardless of if you're in a building or underground. But if there are blocks above your head, the Phantoms won't spawn.
Not to mention, if they were meant to be hallucinations, they could simply have made them phase through blocks.
@@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim I see your point. But the Ender dragon is a final boss, not a regularly encountered enemy, and defeating the Ender dragon allows players to loot end cities and get endgame items like elytras and shulker boxes.
The phantoms not being able to phase through blocks or appear in secluded areas does not completely disway their being hallucinations. The hallucinations are theoretically a product of sleep deprivation, which is most likely based off a sense of paranoia.
It would make sense for the player not to encounter them inside, because that's where they logically feel more safe. But outside in the open, a paranoia revolving around flying creatures coming to kill you could result in hallucinations of said creatures.
Matpat I got an amazing theory for you. Pillagers made the ancient city. The proof is that in the woodland mansion there is a room that has light blue, dark blue and cyan wool and the ancient city also has that and also the same wood that is in the forests that woodland mansions spawn in
Also, the Elytra looks extremely similar to the design of the Phantom. the boney look near what would be the bones, and the color.

Hi ! Just wanted to say that, in the last snapshots, we can found piles of different shades of blue wool in the ancient cities, and these colors are kinda reminiscent of the warden, so I think your theory about the warden being built by men is getting more and more accurate ! (And also I just wanted to mention the giant fossiles that we can find everywhere in the soulsand valleys and very rarely in the overworld, and the size if these kinda matches the enderdragon's size...)

"They are a hallucination", said the minecraft community.
Well this "hallucination" just took a big bite out of my side.

Judging by how the ancient city has some structures within that seem to resemble pillager buildings there might be a connection
mojang just watched few matpat videos and added lore according to that

One thing i noticed was you said the illagers would hear about the enderdragon and the builders would leave behind scraps of elytra’s but that doesn’t make sense when connected to the main theory we have going. It was theorized earlier that the ancient builders went to the end to flee from something, most likely the warden or wither, and were trapped in the End as a result. If they were trapped in the end, the illagers wouldn’t hear anything about what was going in in the end, and the ancient builders couldn’t bring back any elytra’s because the portal was closed on entry, which makes sense because you can’t find elytra’s in the overworld either otherwise if they did come back somehow you probably would find them in chest loot.
Maybe, it’s smaller because of its decay? It’s a dead dragon, meaning, and think of this, the wings. The wings are a little deteriorated, and of the dragon, they are full. Meaning while dead, it shrunk and it’s wings broke off, and since they might have been made by the Illigers, they have Totems in them, making it so they don’t have to have full wings
My version of this theory is that the phantoms are the "butterfly" to the ender mite, see ender mite(larva) -> shulker(the cocoon) -> phantom. the phantom(using the corus fruit powers similar to ender mite/shulker) went through the void into the overworld
Ooooooooh that’s a really cool idea! I never thought about it that way but that does make sense
Very neat idea!
Although they can only spawn in the overworld
I like this theory!
I think the Shulker is a Golem, like guardians.

New theory for mat: why is it that when you “complete” the game do you respawn back to your bed?
Don't fall for the message above it's a scam
@@KyuuDesperation u sure are

@@Confused-.-. same
Just reporting the scam for misinformation since there wasn't a scam option. Did I choose the right option?
The last little bit with the ender dragon screaming . . . was surprisingly spooky. And that alone sold the theory for me. The evidence was fitting, but it didn't become secured in my mind until that moment.
Same...that was freaky
relying on emotional influence instead of facts/theories backed up by at least some logic to change your opinion😍😍😍
@@twilightshine5264 ur mom
@@twilightshine5264 wdym both theories have logic both based on real world facts and minecraft in- universe facts respectively. What are u smoking i want some of that kiddo
I love dragons and always deeply feel bad for killing Jean as the game mechanic works. And the screaming did traumatize me too. Truely feel like seeing someone's being slaughtered right in front of my eyes.
One thing that doesn’t convince me about this theory (and call me out if we had already figured it out) is that in the first ever Minecraft theory, and through out the journey of Minecraft Theory, MatPat said that the Ancient Builders were escaping from something and in a last ditch effort created the end portal, but when they when through it the portal closed behind them.
So how did the Illagers see someone come through the portal and how did the Ancient Builders bring back elytras in order for the Illagers to see them?
MatPat connecting obscure Update Aquatic toys with the Ender Dragon and somehow making it make sense:
Never in my life have I ever thought that game theory would get sponsored by Geico... this has made my year way better
Geico seems to be marketing to new demographics recently, what with the video game commercials and sponsoring game theory of all things
This makes a lot of sense, honestly, scraping together old dragons sounds pretty accurate
But this is just a theory because we can't find membrane in chests yet, hopefully as the lore develops more we'll be able to
What if some builders came back but turned to zombies later do to some of the experiments
They came through killing the dragon
Beds explode in the end, phantoms go after players who hasn't slept.
You cant find them because the phantoms were created by the evokers after the builders left
Make a book, a book about every minecraft theory you have ever done, it would be a very interesting book, you could name it "Minecraft Lore"
Another game. Another "vengeful spirit". Mat just can't get enough of those
I would like to note, that any Ender Dragon corpse that could have been found most likely would be missing it's head do to the fact that they mounted them to the front of the air ships.
That's why the Ender dragon's head and Phantom's head look nothing alike
Yeah, a headless ender dragon would likely look like a massive phantom

Underrated comment.
The only thing I find a flaw with is the illagers knowing about the ender dragon. Didn't matpat say that the ancient builders were stuck in the end? If so, how would any news of the ender dragons reach the illagers, if there isn't anyone who can tell them about it?

Well the builders were hunting for dragons so they probably can get out after killing one.
I think that was the ancient builders' motivation in the first place why they kill end dragons to extinction was to get out of the end, since killing an ender dragon open up a portal back to the overworld.
How does this explain the builders getting trapped?
Majority of them probably cant fight or there wasnt enough dragons for them to kill which explains the ender dragons extinction.
I was thinking of the exact same thing. I watched one of his older videos about illagers being cargo cultists again.
ua-cam.com/video/paT_ceofN0w/v-deo.html
There, at 10:14, he mentions ancient builders coming out of the end portal.
I think it makes more sense for the ancient builders to go to the end and get stuck permanently. Not sure what his stance is.
remember he said its a hypothesis meaning its assumptions based off of non tangible evidence
@@ktoru2655 It does not explain their extinction and why their descendants enderman and villagers/illagers are much less advanced than them which requires them to go extinct by being stuck in the end
I know you might not be doing this but I would love to see another collab theory with you and philza it would be really cool and he also does things testing out minecraft mechanics in beta versions
MatPat's videos are great but the best part is that you can show your parents that you are watching something educational even though you are watching game theories
What if phantoms are actually the undead remnants of dragons that once existed in the overworld (but were killed to extinction by ancient civilizations)? It may explain the similarities to the ender dragon and their undead look.
What if the ender dragon evolved to be smaller in the over world and then they were killed off.
They’re definitely hallucinations cos if one player didn’t sleep but another player did the player who slept won’t see the phantoms while the other player did
@@Lightswitch4203 Uh, no, any player can see phantoms, that they have slept or not.
@@Lightswitch4203 All players and all mobs see phantoms, they are as real as anything else

I was looking for this comment
Dadpat moment’s
Mat: “the phantom is unique as it’s the only undead mob to not have a living counterpart”
The wither: “am I a joke to you?”
Teeeechnicallly.
The wither is a Mashup of multiple skeletons and is an outlier and should not be counted
MatPat’s thoughts on the Phantoms reminds me of MechaGodzilla from Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla (the first Gojira from 1954) and Godzilla vs. Kong (Ghidorah’s left head), and Obsidian Fury and the Kaiju drones from Pacific Rim: Uprising.
True
MatPat should’ve adopted a cat, that drives creepers away indefinitely
Doesn't he have one?

Also MatPat: *shows a rat*

Can anyone tell me whats the difference between a mouse and a rat??
@@thewithergamer1736 rats are larger and have larger tails. rats also have different behaviors then mice. Rats prefer large cities and damp dark undergrounds while mice prefer a warm enviroment like a woodland area or a rural home to stake out in.
Ah, but what is a Rat if not simply Mouse 2.0?
The Ender Dragon we see is the last one, we have no idea if there were different species, which might explain the similar yet different design. Almost like Drake and Dragon, the End could have been swarming with many species, but they were all hunted to extinction, my theory is that they were hunted to create Elytras, the ships we see might have been for hunting them. It seems like the Ender Dragon has some connection to the overworld, some living "phantoms" could have been sent there, and after feasting on undead for so long they were changed to something else.
There is actually further evidence that supports this, as Mojang had once released information on a currently unreleased mob much similar to the End Dragons in the third dimension over, that being a red-colored overworld dragon. This could imply that the Old Builders had gained Elytra even before they ventured to the end and could also explain how the Pillagers found leftover elytra and phantom membranes from the remnants of their old kingdoms.
This theory is far better than the one in the video
This sounds great!
The fact you "came up" with this shows you haven't seen the previous Minecraft theories by MatPat, because he already covered this.
@@shoominnocent5019 yeah exactly plus beacuse there was no way beack from the end there wasn't anyone to say about the ender dragons and that theory will explain everything
Their blue color is noteworthy, granting that your theory is true, maybe the Illagers used Lapis Lazuli in the creation of the phantoms? And their eyes are green like those of the villagers, maybe they were sacrificed in the experiment as well.
Though in other theories you've said that the Master Builders escaped to the End but didn't realize it would be a one-way trip. They couldn't return to the Overworld and that's why they evolved into the Endermen. Endermen travel to the Overworld, and can teleport, so they must've figured something out eventually, but it doesn't seem like they would've been able to tell the Illagers anything about the End.
